Yeah I got bit by a tick years ago right above my belt while hiking and even though the ring rash started to develop my doctor said it was a belt allergy and prescribed me topical steroids. Thankfully I basically demanded a Lyme test and even though they’re not super accurate mine came back positive and I got ahead of it.

It can really fuck up life for people, so I recommend that anyone who spends time outdoors in areas where ticks could be remain super vigilant. On doing checks after returning from the outdoors and immediately going to seek medical attention if you see any symptoms of tick bites.
